Susan Collins criticized in letter regarding truth and civic duty

In a letter regarding the importance of truth in self-government, Tom Inman argues that truth is a fundamental precondition for republican liberty and independence. The author connects the principle of honesty to the heritage of both Virginia and Maine, suggesting that a free people must be able to judge reality without distortion to make informed decisions.

Addressing the current political climate in Maine, the letter criticizes Senator Susan Collins, stating she has repeatedly abetted failures of honor, duty, and collective historical conscience. The author asserts that the upcoming election serves as a test of whether truth remains an obligation of heritage and calls for better stewards of public trust.
